    Ever watch the program, "What would you do?" They setup mock situations such as robberies, assaults, deceased people on the street, etc. AMAZING how many people walk on by. They interview them later and ask why. I think it's on ABC.

    as a former tower, this breaks my heart. I can't imagine how his family feels knowing how this fellow died.

    I hang out on tow yards. I count those guys, not as just friends, but as family. This just breaks my heart. I think I would personally hurt the driver who did this to one of them.

    She will cry big crocodile tears and claim she was just scared / did'nt know / is sooooo sorry. This woman was doing shady things long before this sensless incident occured from what the article stated. She even helped her ex hide his hit and run accident. All she probably cares about is what SHE will lose because of her actions.

    The only positive to this story was the outpouring of respect and love shown for this tow driver by the City and the tow companies in Colorado.
    The day of his funeral, there was a massive (more than 3 miles long) procession of wreckers that met up in Denver and made the drive to the Springs, with FULL police escort. Two CSP cycles in the lead and CSP cruiser in the rear. All trucks were cleaned, waxed, drivers looked sharp, they ran uninterrupted from Denver to the Springs with lights flashing, the Colorado Springs PD/El Paso SO. blocked off all the intersections leading to the Church and the to the Cemetary. It was definetly a sight to see on I-25. The wife of the driver killed also filed a $1 mil. wrongful death lawsuit against the suspect in this case, let's hope she prevails.
